This is the SX230 HS which I own and gifted to family. I love its size, zoom. If you buy it - pick up some cheap 3rd party batteries on Amazon or elsewhere, its battery does not last too long.
It is a great camera, but its successor SX260 HS which came out in 2012 is about the same price http://camelcamelcamel.com/Canon-PowerShot-Digital-Stabilized-Wide-Angle/product/B0075SUK14
I really like this camera & I wish I could pony up to buy one but it wasn’t that great of a Christmas around here. I’ve owned two PowerShot cameras and both were phenomenal. This is a very good deal.
EDIT: Except, apparently, the successor to this is due out very soon.
Woot, you know we love you, but people clearly aren’t buying this because they know it’s not the right value for what it is. You might want to pull this deal and rethink it?
